Gerald Kaufman (1930-2017🙏🏼🌹🕊️), British MP, speaking from the rostrum of Parliament in 2009.

Gerald Kaufman was the son of Polish Jewish immigrants. Born in the UK, Kaufman was one of the country's most famous Jewish politicians. He was also a fervent critic of Israel, calling for sanctions against the Jewish state for its policies towards the Palestinians, and comparing Israeli soldiers to Nazis.

For years, Kaufman has been one of Britain's most outspoken critics of Israel.

In April 2002, at the start of Israel's Operation Rampart to halt the wave of suicide bombings in the country's cities, Kaufman declared Israel an "international pariah" and accused then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of ordering "his troops to use barbaric methods against the Palestinians", according to the BBC.

Kaufman, who was Foreign Secretary between 1987 and 1992, told the House of Commons in 2002 that it was "time to remind Sharon that the Star of David belongs to all Jews and not to his repulsive government. His actions sully the Star of David with blood."

In 2004, in an editorial published in the Guardian, he called for economic sanctions against Israel similar to those used against South Africa.

In 2009, during the war between Israel and Hamas, Operation Cast Lead, he accused Israel of exploiting Holocaust guilt to justify its actions in the Gaza Strip.

"The current Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the guilt of gentiles [non-Jews] after the murder of Jews during the Holocaust as justification for its murders of Palestinians," Kaufman had declared before Parliament.

Speaking of his personal history as the son of Jewish refugees from Poland, he had said that "my grandmother was in bed, sick, when the Nazis came to her town. A German soldier shot her in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza."

Kaufman had compared Hamas fighters to Jewish resistance fighters in the Second World War, claiming that "Israeli army spokesman Major Leibovich was asked about Israeli murders of, at the time, 800 Palestinians. The total is now 1,000. She replied instantly that '500 of them were militants'. That's the response of a Nazi. I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been considered militants."

His opposition to Israel has persisted with age. In 2012, he had written an editorial published by the Huffington Post claiming that Israel was a "rogue state", and that the fact that Israel is a democracy "means that the Israeli electorate is complicit in its government's war crimes."

In 2015, he had told the Palestine Return Centre, a Hamas-affiliated association, that "Jewish money" was the reason why British Conservatives were pro-Israel.

My mother had abdominal surgery the same week as Catherine and for an enlarged organ, like Charles. She took 6 weeks off work and even now still isn’t 100%. I can’t imagine her being abused by people on the internet, the media, anyone close to her trying to violate her private medical information and invalidate her as a respectable human being.

When I got the notification on my phone that said Catherine had cancer, I already felt bad because of what she’s had to endure while recovering from a surgery—and with so much stress that surely hasn’t made recovering any easier—but also now more than ever because she also has to deal with this. And with 3 young children. My mother has 3 children: a 24-year-old and 2 teenagers, and it’s bad enough to lose your mother at those young ages but at 5, 8, and 10 is just the one of the worst positions you can be put in. I can’t even fathom how hard it must have been to find the right time and words to break it down for them gently with such limited time and ways to share this news to children this young.

And for William, my heart is really breaking for him too. He lost his mother at such a young age and has seen so many people around him suffer and cause him to suffer by burdening him with so much, he must be feeling so much pain and guilt right now. And with an older father, your only living parent, that also has cancer is just hell. I know they’re rich and live in a palace and all that but he is in a very unfortunate position right now and I applaud how good of an attitude and great sense of dignity he has had since the day he was born despite all he’s endured. I know I crap on him a lot for things like his work ethic but I do admire how strong he is and always has been, his family has all my support.

And to the people backtracking all the conspiracy theories and hate now that we all know she has cancer, y’all are some two-faced motherfuckers and even if she didn’t have cancer it was never ok to act how you all did before. Someone else’s pain should not be entertained, you should all be ashamed of yourselves, able to have your own privacy and peace when it comes to your health while being vultures to a recovering mother going through chemotherapy.

#the morning of my mother’s surgery i was gonna ask if you guys could keep her in her thoughts and prayers #but after seeing how you all treated the king i decided against that #they both deserve better #cancer #kate middleton #princess of wales #king charles iii #prince william #prince of wales #prince george #princess charlotte #prince louis #british royal family

israeli terrorists shoot Palestinian man carrying aid until he dies

inna lillahi wa inna illayeehi raajiun

#he was carrying aid #which is already hard to get #his determination to get up again and again might be because he has a family/kids to feed waiting for him #he'll never make it back home. his family may never find out what happened to him #or maybe they will. which one is worse?#they literally are hunting palestinians the same way the british hunted indians for sport after indians revolted against brtish rule in 185 #colonial britain and israel: divided by centuries united by colonialism and senseless violence and intense racism #free palestine #palestine #gaza #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #glory to the martyrs #long live palestine #long live the resistance #death to israel #death to america

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.

#I'm from a seaside town that has become popular with tourists who come for the beach and the mediterranean climate #and the typical whitewashed walls of mediterranean coastal towns #in just a few years the average rent has gone up so much that now the average rent id #*is over 1000€ per month #one thousand!#that's a whole salary!#in the past 2 years they've been building a new neighbourhood. they've destroyed the vinyeards to make a new neighbourhood that will make #the town 1/3 bigger than it is. that's a lot. but all those houses are luxury houses with private swimming pools for rich foreigners (we #already have 2 private British schools high schools and college(in the british sense)/baccalaureate where their kids go and never have to #interact with locals. I teach some of those kids and they're very prejudiced against locals and very bigoted against the catalan language #(which ofc they never bother to learn)#there's a law in catalonia that says that for every certain amount of houses you build you are obligated to build a certain percentage of #affordable housing. so in this new neighborhood they built the bare minumum affordable housing which is still too expensive for us #and since there's so few of them everyone is competing to get them. the city hall and the bank have had to make an official competition for #them but you only classify if the renr would not be more than 1/3rd of your salary which is impossible. my cousins who are in their mid 30s #and have been working a good qualified job for 15 years (and their partners too) are considered too poor to be considered for the #affordable housing #everyone is having to move out to other cities away from their friends and family and current jobs. the only jobs left here soon will be #mostly directed at tourists #and the only way to continue living here if you're a normal person and not rich is if you're an only child who one day might inherit the #parents' house #but we look around at what's happening in nearby cities and we see the next step which will be airbnb taking the houses that are left #in many places (I've posted about thia before) there aren't any flats for rent or sell anymore that isn't an airbnb #I'm still lucky in my town when compared to other places like Barcelona which are already full of the airbnb plague #actualitat #airbnb #tourism #touristic massification #gentrification

It's so hard being English on the internet because Americans oversaturate the platform like 100:1 (love you guys im joking)

But srsly, I'll begin reading one of the best fanfics ever and then the word 'panties' pops up and something in my soul dies and my visceral reaction is absolute horror

(this is a poorly veiled excuse to say sorry for the wait the Alastor forced proximity teaser will be posted SOON)

#is this a cancel-able take?#I hope not #pls stop with the panites an d pants and augheghgdg #where are my fellow British fanfic writers we need to unite against this evil #im aware how English I sound whenever I type the word trousers and underwear #but pls #im begging

absolutely wild to me that your whole life is defined by exams you took when you were seventeen. their brains are not even fully developed yet. please pick a lane, adults. you dismiss their words. you call young people stupid and unable or not old enough to have good opinions or make choices or participate in the choosing of their own futures and yet you define their futures by one little test. well guess what an exam has a fuckton of choices and if they can't be trusted to have an opinion on their own lives then maybe they can't be trusted to make academic choices on a test either. either you give us a voice or you will not hear until it's too late

#by that i mean we will overthrow the government #get in losers we're going to overthrow the government #i am british so i do mean a levels/gcse's #i am not against exams or school but please #this doesn't just go for teenagers this goes for all young people- like late twenties early thirties their opinions get dismissed bc of age #but not too young for people to harrass/assault/take advantage of?#the people in charge don't care about the things that matter #school #exams #gcse #government #fuck the government #this is about kosa #STOP RESTRICTING FREEDOM #stop kosa #kosa #i'm not even from the usa but this is horrific #do you realise how stupid you sound telling teens they can't make their own choices then giving a forty page test on random unrelated shit #yeah no if i can't have an opinion how am i supposed to do well on tests?

controversial, but: jack being irish is a very common headcanon and i honestly just can’t see it. in chapter 2, jack says “we’re english, and the english are best at everything.” if lotf takes place in the 40s-50s like many assume, the irish war of independence had only happened about 20 years prior and ireland was freshly liberated. i’m sure we all know the atrocities the english committed against the irish, and i just don’t think an irish kid would say “the english are best at everything,” especially so soon after ireland gained independence. i don’t mean to bash anyone by the way, this is only my opinion

#it seems like most people only hc jack as irish because he’s ginger #which like. whatever i guess #but something also rubs me the wrong way about #headcanoning the first character to go ‘savage’ as irish #especially when contrasted against the ‘civilized’ englishman (ralph)#also how lotf is anti british imperialism #showing how the british are just as capable of the ‘savagery’ they accuse native populations of #so again it seems disingenuous to headcanon jack as irish #a native population colonized by the english #does this make sense?#sorry if youre irish just lmk if i’m overstepping #but i am native american and these are just my thoughts #august speaks #not tagging this 💗

also i understand pierre gasly completely. i too would let lance stroll get away with anything and fully blame a third party for any crimes lance definitely didn’t commit bc he could never do anything wrong

#twirls hair no fia i didn’t see lance at all idk what you’re talking about #pretty sure at least 15% of this is pierre being petty on charles behalf #which is also fair #but the other 80% is pierre saying who could ever blame lance for anything!#(remaining 5% is actual justifiable allegations against Carlos)#pierre gasly #carlos sainz #lance stroll #wait this isn’t even technically about carlos #too late now im not backspacing #f1 #british gp 2023 #*delphi
